Part 3: Correctional Officers and Rights of Inmates Hudson v. McMillian is a U.S. Supreme court case involving the excessive force resulting in a claim of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. The court's decision resulted in the five-pronged Hudson test, also known as PANAM:

(P)erceived threat by correctional officers; (A)ny and all efforts to de-escalate; (N)eed for the application of force; (A)mount of force that was used and; (M)edical issues, and extent of any injuries, that are used to evaluate cases involving any use of force before trial and after conviction. The test helps the courts determine whether correctional officers' actions were reasonable, necessary, and conducted in good faith.
